Let’s draw an ice cream! Summer is almost here, so get into the season by making some simple drawings that make you think of fun in the sun.
In this easy video tutorial, we’ll draw a triple-scoop ice cream cone. We’ll add sprinkles and a distressed and grunge texture to top it off. The texture adds a creamy look to the scoops and a waffled look to the cone.
Take a look at what we’ll be drawing in the video below.

And we’ll only use basic shapes, which are circles and rectangles.
In less than 30 minutes, you’ll have an ice cream cone that looks good enough to eat. The finished design can be used for SVG projects or printed for sublimation design projects.
We’ll use Inkscape for this drawing. The shortcuts that I use in the video can all be found in my Inkscape Ready Set Go! Ebook.
